    Maybe I’ve misunderstood what I needed to do. I assumed I didn’t need to edit the wp-config.php file. But on further reading it seems I do need to do that.

    I’ll give that a go and report back.

    Thanks

    There’s absolutely no reason you need to edit wp-config.php, what’s giving you that idea?

    Double check the settings on the WordPress Settings > Writing page. Make sure the oauth field isn’t red, and that you have the appropriate post types selected.

    Doh…I was reading an old post about editing the wp-config.php

    I checked the settings. The oauth field isn’t red and I have post and page selected.

    <link rel='shortlink' href='https://bit.ly/1l4m3j6' />

    It’s there. Maybe you’re expecting different behavior?

    It doesn’t overwrite your permalinks, it generates a shortlink and returns it to all the_shortlink() function calls. You can use the “get shortlink” button on the post page, the admin bar, and any plugins that call the_shortlink() will use it (plugins that use get_permalink() for whatever g’danged reason don’t work as of yet, but I’m addressing that in the near future).
